Them people for russia are trying to implement (did actually implement) the same strategy/proposal as Dyke's and it did nothing to help their national team or league. In fact, the reverse was/is the case.

The EPL is a MASSIVE business, a package that no longer rests on the shoulders of made in England and ONLY for English people. If they pursue Dyke's proposal, I have no doubt that it will backfire.
Historically, most Balon D'or winners ply their trade outside the EPL. The one and only EPL player to win it was CR7 and that was 7 years ago.

Look at English teams flopping in Europe. EPL clubs can't even attract the biggest names in football these days, and the best players in the league invariably end up at Madrid or Barca.

EPL as a business is not based on talent but hype.

It's sold as brand on the back of 4 clubs. Surely you don't think people all over the world tune in to watch the worldbeaters at Aston Villa and West Brom slug out a 0-0 draw in the Midlands Derby?

This rule is really targeted at those 4 clubs who have the finances, personnel and facilities to develop the English grassroot game to world class quality or something close

The current model sees clubs hoovering up the most talented youngsters from academies, farming them out on loan to other clubs who have no interest in long term development of the loanee and as such use them anyhow, and eventually these English players end up in the lower leagues.

By forcing the clubs to develop talent that they have to play, these youngsters may finally get the chance to develop that they simply don't have now.

We only have 1 English regular our team. Cahill dey struggle with Zouma so he doesn't count. Bertrand might have been something but he got dispatched by an 18 million pound flop. Sturridge might have been something, but a 50 million pound flop stood in his way. McEchran might have been something. Bamford could have been something.

And from an FA perspective, a stronger grassroots equals a stronger national pool to choose from.

He doesn't have a point, he wants to be noticed, simple.

How good are these lot compared to their foreign counterparts?

Kane is scoring and all of a sudden, English lads are world beaters. Dyke should wake up from his wet dreams cheesy

When it's all said and done, the BPL's one selling point right now is it claim to fame as the most competitive professional league in Europe. The quality of the product which is what has earned the BPL the huge TV funds it presently has is related to the top level foreign talents.

If Dickhead stifles that and the quality of the product declines, Dickhead may end up killing the goose that's laying the golden egg.

Not just that, dickhead's sentimental call would discourage BPL fans in Asia, Africa and Middle East from seeing the BPL. These are lot who turn on their TVs every weekend to see their local heroes who ply their trade in England.

13 freaking lousy chaps in a squad of 25? Homegrown rule changed?

Bamford to spearhead our attack when we're up against the Madrid and Bayern of this world?

Things are about to get pretty messy for English teams I swear.
The very best players in the world don't play in the EPL.

What you have in the EPL is second tier foreign players prioritised over homegrown talent.

These foreign players are developed in countries like Spain, Brazil etc, some of which have the stricter restrictions on foreign talent that enables an environment that gives game time to budding talent.

By restricting foreign talent, I think the goal is force clubs to use more homegrown players, who would then have a chance to develop their abilities, instead of languishing in the reserves till the time of rapture

Ivanovic has been poor all season.

FBS, Nihilist, do you guys recall the last goal that came down Chelseas left wing? Every single time it's coming from Ivanovic angle.

I love the guy and he is one of my favourites, but as a centre back.

Remember how Nacer Chadli slaughtered him at Spurs.

To quote Diego Simeone when Atletico hammered us in Super Cup "the formula for beating Chelsea is simple. Just let Mikel have the ball and attack Ivanovic on the right. He cannot handle agile wingers. That's what I instructed Turan to do all game"

I been go play ball. Just come back to see say we win. I for curse those bastards forefathers today.
How many attacking fullbacks stay sound defensively?

You have to think about the drills they do in training. The mindset Iva takes to the game is not the same as what Azpi takes to the game.

I'm not disagreeing with you with regards to Iva's flank being vulnerable, but that's obvious with attacking fullbacks. Think about all the fullbacks in the game now, the only don at offense and defense I can think of right now is Alaba, and maybe Zabaleta(maybe)

A few weeks ago,Nasri said exactly the same thing You quoted simeone as saying, only he was referring to Dani Alves!

So Ivanovic too is useless now? Or Average like Nateevs said?

Only God knows what you guys want from an attacking full back

Some ninjas who wouldn't know a central midfielder from a fly-half have been abusing me all season over Oscar matter.

I must draw line under their matter. . . . cos these dudes like picking up long running debate, abuse you and call you names. . . . then fall silent when they are proven wrong. . . .

Oscar compared to Sterling? YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH! grin grin grin

Oscar top-5 Under-23 player in the world? YOU'RE HAVING A LAUGH! grin grin grin

Dudes with big opinions and little knowledge.
Who has been proven wrong? Abi is it just Oscar who's been under-performing?

Fabregas the 'Central Midfielder' is also not performing...Oya sell him to PSG.

You claimed central defence was not a problem, yet Zouma has practically displaced Cahill now mid-way through the season.

Dont forget that even the Sterling you're hyping now was so useless at some point during the season that Rodgers had to send him off to Jamaica to Rest!

Upon everything now stats remain:

Sterling 2244 mins in the league 6 goals 7 assists
Oscar 1816 mins in the legue 6 goals 7 assists.

Lets not forget that Sterling has been playing as a striker for most of the season, and despite having played 428 minutes more(Almost 5 full games!!), still only has the same production as 'useless' Oscar.

Ibime no make I open book for you o. This na new month.

I don't see anything wrong in having an Ego, or bragging about past achievements.

Why should Jose be humble? It's a known fact that he's in the elite bracket in terms of achievement, and he's earned the right to put everyone on blast if he chooses to.

Haters boil beans abeg.

So it's 'just' a double then?

I'm actually not too disappointed with the result cos it didn't matter when we went out, we WERE going to go out regardless.

So I'll quite happily take this L this year, and console myself by worrying whether to drink expensive champagne out the Carling Cup or the EPL Cup.

Maybe next year we might sign Gareth Bale...
